Title: Architect Enterprise Fabrics with QLogic Next Generation Switches

Description: This session encompasses building and configuring Fibre Channel fabrics by using the QLogic core/edge architecture philosophy. In this course, a comparison of the new 9000 features along side existing QLogic products including advantages over competitors will be covered. Learn how a 10Gb backbone can add flexibility and accommodate future fabric growth with the lowest possible TCO.

In addition, topics will include enterprise fabric ‘best practices’ to avoid over-subscription, adjust for proper load balancing, and configuring the SANbox® 9000 with HyperStack™ cables for fault tolerance. During this hands-on course attendees will get practical experience with slot configuration, hot plug/swap blades, zoning, real time software upgrades, NPIV and an overview of the new Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007™ software.

Title: Designing Clustered Computing Solutions to Distribute Computing Resources

Description: This course introduces the concept of clustered solutions coupled with the idea of pooling IT resources to distribute them dynamically in order to meet fluctuating business demands.

A cluster is only as efficient as its components, therefore topics such as AMD’s quad-core technology, efficiencies of the AMD processors, HPC Stream Process and the Direct Connect Architecture with HyperTransport™ will be discussed. Students will leave with an understanding of how to deliver the perfect balance of scalability, performance, and cost, including how to reduce space, power, hardware, and administration costs while providing an efficient and secure computing infrastructure.
